consider this: if Lenin had let the mensheviks win (as they democratically should have), the 100 gorillion meme wouldn't exist today, and we'd have less classcuckoldry.
Consider this: if Lenin had let the mensheviks win (as they democratically should have)...
why
It wouldn't matter. The ruling classes always up their black propaganda as society gets closer to revolution. Any authentically revolutionary movement would deal with many of the same problems, no matter the ideology or conditions.
The majority of votes went to the SRs.

bogpill me on the mensheviks
they thought temporary capitalism was a necessary step before establishing communism
that meme comes from the great leap forward so it would still exist
"lets just try and vote for socialist reforms and do nothing else" the party
So basically Lenin?
interesting
They were limp-dicked reformers. At least Lenin TRIED to build Communism.
Very interesting. Goes to show the class character of the bolshevik party, and the awkwardness of proletarian revolution in a nation that was not yet fully proletarianized.
long live democrats!
No we would have had many more dead with no anti-commie propaganda, instead we would have had a world under nazi rule with in the billions genocided for not being ethnically german.
Shocking
Nazis only took power because of anti-communist scare mongering.
No, they took power because the Comintern was not only useless, but actively working against communism succeeding in Germany. I suspect it's because Stalinists secretly fear mass movements because they are fundamentally anti-bureaucratic and Stalinism can survive only so long as there is immense bureaucracy.
Speakeing of 1917 Russia. Why didn’t Lennin adopt the land policy of these people. en.wikipedia.org
wasn't that exactly what he did though
Agrarian reform is petty-booj, see: Mao.
No Lennin nationalized Land. Peasents were against that. This resutled in the Green Army Peasent revolt.
Bullshit. Peasants =/= Peti-Booj

Trotsky was literally the only socialist in the 1930's who fully understood the risks the Nazis posed. He was also the only socialist who actually understood the phenomenon of fascism. And, unlike Stalin, he didn't make the KPD peddle the fucking garbage, horrifying idea that the Nazis were preferable to so-called "social fascists".
Is this just like the designated shitposting flag now
why are the mensheviks more well-known than the SRs when they got so little votes?
Lots of communists were aware, fascism was a key point during the 7th congress of the comintern. The problem is that the allies didn't do anything until WWII was unavoidable.
Russia was too much of a shithole to modernize without an insane amount of causalities.
I’m an unironic agrarian socialist. I think everyone should move back to rual areas and cities and Suburbs should be bulldozed.
isn't that basically what Varg is? makes sense.
